“Thanks to the must be won rules, this lucky winner
increased their prize from $10,000 to $400,000,” said Mr
Pickup.

In a ‘Must Be Won’ draw, if First Division
is not won, the prize is added to the next highest division
where there are winners – in this case, there was no First
Division winner and therefore the jackpot rolled down to
Second Division, where there was just one winner.

Their winning ticket was sold at Allen United Video and
Lotto Te Puke.

“This prize will have come just at
the right time for this winner – with Christmas just
around the corner, they will be able to treat themselves
quite a bit more this year,” says Mr Pickup.

Bullseye is NZ Lotteries’ daily jackpotting game which
gives players a chance to win up to $100,000 every day by
simply picking a six-digit number between 000,000 and
999,999 – if their number exactly matches the winning
number, they’ve hit the Bullseye. The jackpot can reach a
maximum of $400,000 before a must be won draw is called.

“Anyone who bought their ticket from this store should
write their name on the back of the ticket and check it
immediately at any NZ Lotteries’ outlet or online at
MyLotto," Mr Pickup added.
